Things You'll Need:
- Vegetable oil
- 2 or 3 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 or 3 thinly sliced carrots
- 1/2 cup of onion
- 1 teaspoon crushed dried basil
- 1 cup fresh Chinese peapods
- 2 or 3 cups of cooked rice
- 1 apple (baking variety)
-
Step 1
The rice is the first thing to start since it will take the longest to cook. White or brown rice both go nicely with this recipe.
-
Step 2
Prepare the onion by dicing it up. Slice up the carrots into thin slices. Dice up the chicken breast into small pieces.
-
Step 3
Take a good non-stick skillet and put a tablespoon of vegetable oil in it and place over medium to high heat on the stove. Stir fry the chicken until it is lightly browned and cooked.
-
Step 4
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it off to the side. Put another tablespoon and a half of vegetable oil in the skillet and set the heat at medium.
-
Step 5
Stir-fry the onion, carrots, and crushed dried basil together in the skillet on medium heat. Cook until the carrots begin to soften up. Then stir in a tablespoon of water along with the Chinese pea pods. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
-
Step 6
Remove mixture from heat.
-
Step 7
Slice up an apple to the core and stir in the apple slices. Use a baking variety apple such as Red Rome, Crispin, Jonagold, Golden Delicious, or McIntosh.
-
Step 8
Add back in the chicken and serve hot over the cooked white or brown rice. This recipe will make about 3-4 servings, depending on how many chicken breasts you use.
